#3 : Gueule
The feminine french word "gueule" originally meant the mouth part of animals like wolves and dogs... But now gueule is used in several French slang expressions:
Ta gueule!: Ferme ta gueule = shut your mouth. This has been reduced to ta gueule = shut up.
Gueule de bois: When you drank a lot the previous night, you obviously wake up the next day with la gueule de bois (literally: wooden mouth, US: hangover).
Grande gueule: You can say that somebody is a "grande gueule" when this person speaks loud, always showing off, telling jokes... This is equivalent to the US expression "big mouth".
The verb gueuler = crier/to yell. ARRETE DE GUEULER PUTAIN! = SHUT THE FUCK UP!
No explanation needed for:
- Dans ta gueule/in your face.
- Gueule de con/dumb ass.
- Casser la gueue a quelqu'un/break somebody's face.
